Though not running this weekend, I need to maintain my obstacle prowess. The 2015 Warrior Dash World Championship is looming. In fact, I should be running it in about 30 days.
10 pull ups with leg lifts x 3
20 push ups x 3
20 dips x 3
20 bent knee v-ups x 3
Rope climb
I'm running obstacle races hard. I thank God for my health and the US Army for 22 years of physical training. After retiring 10 years ago, I'm still trying to stay in shape. Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training keeps me motivated.

Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training-01/02/14
Guess what? First blog post of the year for me. I maintain many blogs, but this is by far the one I post regularly.
So, you might be traveling this holiday season. Does it mean you don't have time to work out? No way! You've got time.
When traveling with family, I enjoy doing a work out while they get ready, or are at breakfast, or some downtime between events.
Here's a good workout you can do right in your room (assuming you have no time to run)
Push-ups to muscle failure
Sit-ups to muscle failure

Again, this is a good workout while traveling and you don't have time for a more thorough one. If you've got time and resources, visit some of my earlier posts for heartier warrior workouts.
I mentioned the fact that I have other blogs. I hope you will come and see them.

Obstacle Race Training-02/03/13
I only intended
to do a small workout, but was soon overcome by good feelings. So I kept it up
and added more to it. I worked out the chest and shoulder muscles for those
monkey bar and wall climb events, the abs for endurance and a very hilly sprint
laden 3-
4 mile run for that extra boost when needed.
